Chapter 868 - 868 583 Shana and Liu Yun_2

Chapter 868: Chapter 583 Shana and Liu Yun_2 Chapter 868: Chapter 583 Shana and Liu Yun_2 But the other side also had a very powerful ally, neither soft diplomacy nor hard power could surpass them…

And such matters weren’t appropriate for asking Mom to step in from behind the scenes; doing that would mean her complete defeat.

“Sigh, she’s beautiful and strong, and she seems to have a pretty good temperament, I’m jealous.”

As Liu Yun kept walking, maintaining her speed towards the sea, she asked the figure as if nothing had happened just moments ago,

“By the way, do you mind if I ask, are you his current girlfriend?”

Upon hearing this, the hazy and aesthetically pleasing figure did not respond, simply moving with her progress.

It seemed to be supervising her to prevent unnecessary actions, or perhaps it was protecting them from certain attacks…

Or maybe it was a bit of both.

“Don’t like to talk, huh? But it looks like you are, according to the knowledge my mother has given me, some of it matches you. You’ve come into contact with her not long ago. According to her observations, it’s impossible for you to be here at this time, at this place…”

“From what I see, you’ve made a great sacrifice for him, coming from a great distance. I don’t believe that’s something a mere friend would do…”

“Of course, the most important thing is that he even carries a part of your body, and most likely, it was a gift from you… Ordinary male and female friends, how could they possibly…”

She prattled on, feeling like she had discovered the truth, her words full of unusual emotions.

This time, the figure behind the light let out an almost imperceptible voice, “Mhm.”

However, at this, Liu Yun suddenly let out a light laugh.

“No, despite the evidence of your closeness, I don’t believe it. My sixth sense tells me, you two… are just a bit short of the mark, maybe there are feelings, but perhaps neither of you has pierced through that final layer of relationship… unless, unless you two mate fiercely in front of me and have a big, chubby baby, hehe…”

Saying this, without waiting for the shadow of light to react, Liu Yun suddenly changed the topic and said with a laugh, “I’m just kidding. But, I really do want to do just that in front of you. Mm, I’m going to have so many!”

Despite these offensive and provoking words, the glowing figure remained unfazed, simply watching calmly.

“Boring…”

Facing this “impervious” “tactic,” Liu Yun felt like she was punching cotton, which gave her a sense of inexplicable powerlessness…

As she stopped trying to amuse herself with speaking, the place quieted down, leaving only the sound of footsteps hurrying along.

She didn’t ponder too much on the matter. As she saw the sea drawing nearer, the latent psychology of wanting to compete was gradually replaced by another emotion…

It was a feeling she couldn’t quite describe, fear? Reluctance? Resentment? Or maybe a nervousness like nearing home… unease?

This short journey was coming to an end…

Liu Yun didn’t stop walking, but she suddenly broke the silence, “Please take good care of him from now on, okay?”

She paused, then added,

“Not as a favor to me, but protect him from your heart, or maybe because you like him, don’t have regrets…”

“Mhm.”

The glowing figure nodded, giving her first clear and explicit response.

Liu Yun looked at the unconscious Colin as if explaining something and at the same time consoling herself,

“But don’t worry, I haven’t touched him, and I can’t. It’s like fish in water, gazing every day at the stars reflected on the lake’s surface. They seem so close, yet I’m perpetually unable to touch them; the reality is far away from me. But I’m easily satisfied… Dreams are pretty good, too.”

As she talked, she looked at the glowing silhouette with an indescribable envy, opened her mouth as if wanting to say something, but in the end, only showed a complex smile that seemed both content and difficult to let go.

Then she stopped walking.

Because the arduous journey was over; the sea lay at her feet…

Taking a deep breath, Liu Yun withdrew her gaze from the figure radiating blinding light and then squatted in front of the rocks, gently placing Colin into the water.

At the moment of touching the water, something strange seemed to connect with the figure in her hands…

Ripples of pale blue spread out from Colin’s body.

“It seems like the power of some ‘pact’ is being activated…” Liu Yun realized something upon seeing this.

As a being born of intelligence in that world, she was extremely familiar with the aura of various “pacts” but was limited to recognition and did not know what they specifically entailed.

Just as she could look at a car and know it can run, she did not understand why it ran, what technology was used inside, whether it required fuel or charging, or what theory and configuration data it had.

However, just as they had let their guard down, an unexpected change suddenly occurred!

“Thump…”

“Is there something inside his body?!”

Both Liu Yun and the luminous figure in the air, in an instant, directed their gazes toward Colin’s head—could they vaguely sense something alive that had just made a sound akin to a heartbeat?

Despite its faintness, it didn’t escape the two, who were completely focused on Colin and had their minds set on him!

Through their mutual reactions, both confirmed that this was a situation they had not known before!

The first thought that crossed their minds was whether something had taken the opportunity to parasitize inside Colin’s body when they were inadvertent…

‘If it really is an enemy, it would be terrible, hidden so deep within his body!’

Liu Yun clenched her teeth, and dark lightning surged wildly over her body, flashing ominously in a way that seemed to obscure the sky.

At the same time, her entire figure began to twist, no longer maintaining a human form in front of Colin, instead seeking to unleash all her power.

Meanwhile, up in the air, the glowing figure began to show rare emotion, growing solemn.

Behind her, layers of Wings of Light unfolded.

Upon the wings, a beam of light, special and exceedingly bright, descended.

It appeared to be a light gate. Behind it, the sounds of chains moving could faintly be heard, as if some ancient and grand entity was being dragged…

In an instant, the atmosphere seemed to become tangible!

However, just when things were on a knife-edge, a weak will transmitted into their ears, explaining the situation.

Only then did the atmosphere begin to ease.

“What, some ‘Deep Sea incident’ task force…”

Muttered Liu Yun to herself, drawing back the all-encompassed dark lightning into her body, she looked at the figure in the water and, without any further hesitation, released her grip on Colin.

Then she saw the waterborne figure rapidly sink to the bottom…

During this process, as she felt a heavy weight finally lift from her heart, she suddenly discovered that Time seemed to slow down abruptly, like a carousel of lanterns.

Her mind replayed scene after scene that was hard to forget.

Among them were both “unreal” and “real” memories, intricately mixed, making it difficult to distinguish between the two.

But what was undeniable was that this man who had stumbled into her life had become her entire world, in spirit, memory, and even self-awareness.

As long as it concerned him, she found herself unable to let go, real or not.

Unfortunately, some foreseeable fates seemed unchangeable…

All she could do was to harbor a dream deep inside her heart, where she could brazenly love and pursue within the dream, pouring out her deep feelings in a corner unknown to him, feelings he would never hear.

Then, occasionally leaping from the water, she would try to reach for those unattainable stars…

At the closest point to them in mid-air, she closed her eyes.

Dreaming a dream that would never come true.

Just like right now…

Liu Yun sat down weakly against a rock by the sea, stretching out her slender legs, crossing her hands over her lower abdomen, watching the figure disappear into the sea, her tense consciousness finally relaxing.

Just as she was about to sink into the long-awaited dream to seek her own “reality,” a call that others couldn’t hear echoed by her ear.

“Mom? Oh… I’m not coming back, I’m so tired, don’t worry about me. If I wake up, maybe I’ll go looking for him again, I need to be beautiful for it…”

The girl’s murmuring voice grew lower and lower.

Finally, the ragged creature by the sea, too weary to maintain human form, closed its eyes and fell into a hazy slumber…

Not knowing what she dreamt of, her closed eyes revealed a sweet smile, tears of happiness spilling from their corners as she mustered all her strength to raise her soft, boneless hand and tentatively extended her ring finger towards the empty air, murmuring her last dream speech:

“Yes, I do…”

A sudden “splash” of a wave crashing onto the shore drowned out all the sounds at that location.
